Germany’s Bild tabloid, the biggest-selling newspaper in Europe, plans to replace a range of editorial jobs with artificial intelligence as part of a €100m costcutting programme, it has told staff in an email.
The paper is also reorganising its regional newspaper business in a move expected to lead to hundreds of redundancies.
The newspaper would “unfortunately be parting ways with colleagues who have tasks that in the digital world are performed by AI and/or automated processes”, its owner, Europe’s largest media publisher, Axel Springer SE, said in an email to staff.
